Where was the UCLA marching band when these three hoodlums, who represented the best of College Basketball, decided that China’s rule of law wouldn’t stop them shoplifting anything and everything that they could stuff in their pockets, and how lucky they were that President Trump was able to get them a ‘get out of jail free card’ instead of their parents seeing their treasures coming home in a comma, like Otto Warmbier, who died just days later with his loves ones around him for not stealing, but just taking down a North Korea poster for a souvenir! ~~
So, I guess no lesson was learned from that tragedy when Freshmen LiAngelo Ball, Cody Riley, and Jalen Hill were arrested in Hangzhou, China, on November 7 for allegedly stealing merchandise from a Louis Vuitton store near the hotel the team was staying in outside of Shanghai. The team was in China to face Georgia Tech in its season opener last week.
Initially, the three were told they could have been forced to stay in China under house arrest for up to a month as Chinese authority went through the legal process to indict them. The outlook worsened, too, when Chinese authorities said they had store surveillance of the three players stealing from several stores, not just the one Louis Vuitton store.
Many, such as ESPN’s Tony Kornheiser, noted that the three players have Trump to thank for their quick release in a case that would have seen a Chinese citizen detained for months before the legal process even began. Indeed, not long after they arrived safely home, the players all joined in a press conference to thank the president for his efforts.
But now, LiAngelo Ball’s father is saying he and his family have no reason to be grateful to the president.
The senior Ball spoke to ESPN’s Arash Markie on Trump’s intercession, and instead of thanking the president, Ball attacked him.
“Who?” Ball said when Markazi raised the topic. “What was he over there for? Don’t tell me nothing. Everybody wants to make it seem like he helped me out,” he added.
Ball also insisted that the crime his son was accused of was no big deal!

Obama’s 8 years of political Correct lawlessness and disrespect for the rule of law condemns our youth’s ability to take responsibility for living an honest law-abiding life! The rule of law teaches every responsible parent how their children’s best teacher, is their last mistake, but when a parent, like this father of UCLA’s Freshmen LiAngelo Ball, excuses his son’s bad behavior because of there being a worst behavior then the one his son participated in, and usually skirts the rule of law here at home on American soil because of his expertise bouncing a ball around and putting it through a hoop from long range, than we all should recognize that this example of a parent seems to have missed the last train to common smartsville!
What these parent’s have failed to understand is that the lawlessness of what’s going on in America today is due to the disrespect of authority, and the rule of law under the last Administration, and is not tolerated in other countries like China or North Korea. These countries march to the beat of a different drummer because they are either Communist or Socialist based,and have a different set of rules and regulations that might not be as easily manipulated by a legal shysters here in America, who for the right amount of money, could set this spirit free!
